FLORHAM PARK, N.J. >> The New York Jets made splashes at the beginning and end of the final day of the NFL draft.

Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty was selected with the Jets’ fourth-round pick after the team moved up one spot Saturday in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jets later traded their final pick No. 224 to St. Louis for running back Zac Stacy, who wrote “yikes” on Twitter shortly after the Rams drafted Georgia running back Todd Gurley in the first round Thursday night.

In the fifth round, New York selected Texas A&M offensive lineman Jarvis Harrison, who played left guard and left tackle in his senior season. With their final pick, No. 223, the Jets took Northwestern State defensive tackle Deon Simon in the seventh round.
